Minecraft Retail

  1. Minecraft is getting a retail boxed edition, and is also being ported to the Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita. As somebody who is about to buy a Playstation Vita, i'm excited :p There are currently very few games for it at the moment and I think Minecraft would fit in very well with the console :3

    Thoughts?
  2. What's retail?
    Sorry I'm not very good with shops outside of EMC.... Kind of
  3. Retail is being sold in stores ^.^
  4. As a ps3 user, I am very excited for this. I loved mc on my friends xbox, and cannot wait to love it on ps3.
  5. OMG YEAAS so you can buy minecraft IN STORES WITH CASH OMG PARTAY LETS CELEBRATE EMC PARTAY *overheats*
  6. At the moment, this is only for the Playstation 3 version and will eventually be for the Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita port when they are released (I would assume sometime in June - August). Who knows, they might bring out a PC version on retail and an Xbox 360 one soon. Maybe one for the planned Xbox One port? :3

    TL;DR: EMC shouldn't be partying over this because its Playstation 3 only for the moment :p

  9. NZ has had Minecraft for 360 for a few weeks now? i don't understand.

    the console versions are very primitive compared to the PC version. Redstone being the main difference.

    I could care less about the consol version. Though I am a PS3 gamer also, minecraft on the consol is a waste of time. :) IMO

  10. Judging by the Lets Plays! on youtube for console, I'd be pretty good since all you do is craft an inventory of something you don't need a lot of in one swift motion. (Buttons, crafting tables, 8 stacks of torches)
  11. As the Console versions were started much after the PC version, it's understandable that they would be behind. (The Xbox version is up to a 1.3/1.4 mix I think)
    However, the console versions have been bringing their own stuff to the game as well, such as transparent skins, splitscreen etc. They have a lot of features that the PC version doesn't.

  12. I don't think Minecraft on the 3DS is possible :p The Vita is almost as powerful as the Playstation 3, and the 3DS is quite weak - Y'know, because Nintendo and everything? :p
    I would love to have transparent skins on PC - splitscreen not so much. It just wouldn't work :p
  13. If there was split mouse and keyboard, I think split screen would just need 2 chairs, and the cost of a lot of lag.
  14. Lol I I'm not looking for a fanboi argument, but I don't think it's that weak. I think it would be interesting to see Minecraft on a 3DS or a Wii or something. If they didn't put Minecraft itself on a nintendo system then do like they have for pocket and other games and just make a single player version except it actually have adventuring and crafting in it.
